Heirloom is an organic farmshare program offered by Gunnison River Farms, delivering weekly to Telluride starting June 15. Heirloom is like having a personal chef and a personal gardener delivering their artisan delights from the North Fork Valley to your hometown. Members receive two meals for four people each week, including a plethora of vegetables and fruit, farm-raised prepared meats, hand-crafted baked goods, soups, homemade cheese, sauces and microgreens. Many items in the Heirloom delivery are seasoned and prepared by chef Bill, so all that is required is warming and plating.

We currently grow 39 acres of certified organic fruits and heirloom vegetables that are hand harvested throughout the summer season, with over 200+ varieties of seeds started in our greenhouse every spring.

In a weekly newsletter, Chef Bill will describe items in your delivery, and give you ideas on how to assemble your bounty into meals for your friends and family.

PASTURE RAISED/GRASS FED ANIMALS

Grass fed Lamb is what we do best here at GRF. We rotationally graze our flock of sheep though multiple pastures throughout the year, with 30+ lambs born every spring. Local farmers who specialize in sustainably raised pork, beef, bison and elk provide additional offerings.

Members will receive meat products that have been hand-curated for ease of preparation at home.
